| The crew return fire, for all the good it will do. in his last moments, the captain roars above the din of fire. "Go with the emperor!" And charges towards the iron warriors sword held above his head. | |

| Laurence looks down at his dataslate, then turns, and walks inside the house, pressing a button by the door, he talks into the intercom, his voice projected into every room. +Everyone down into the lower levels.+ His voice is flat and monotone. | |

| +So get, the fuck, downstairs.+ He sounds odd, serious. It's out of character for him, he's not angry, just, serious. | |

| Most of laurences people are already down there, the upper floors left eerie. Tyren is waiting for her on the first basement level, suited in his contemptor. | |

| Lyanna is wearing battle armour... although she has it would seem modified it so it looks less chaosy | |

| One of laurence's people is stood by the door down to the lower levels, a bullpup lasgun of unconventional design slack in his hands, and non standard armour which appears, superficially at least to be carapace.
Tyren turns at the waist to look at her as she enters the long corridor, in the dull yellow light of glow globes, as the great hangar door at the end, leading to the surface has shut, in what may turn out to be a futile gesture to protect the armoured vehicles on this level. | |

| He slowly turns his legs to face the direction of his upper body. A motion thats rather unnerving, if it were accomplished by a person. | |

| *Tyren turns, and starts walking down towards the door. The man guarding it, bows his head low in respect, and opens the door with a code punched into a pad by its side.* | |

| Tyren walks through, and the man's emotionless helmet turns to face lyanna. It's faceplate is home to a dozen or more sets of optics, lending it a disquieting insect like appearance, and a pict caster on its shoulder. Not an inch of skin shows through the plating. | |

| The door slides closed behind her, leaving the man at the door, and laurence, the highest people in the house. | |

| Soon enough, they come to the level given to be low enough to avoid bombardment. Sat around on benches of plasteel, are the entire staff. All dressed for war. They make a fearsome company as any, some fifty members. At a glance, from their wear, lyanna can tell four more of the lazarus men, well, three men, and a woman. The blank woman, a small multitude of psykers, and general agents abound. | |

| One of the psykers, a telekine by the long silver needles that decorate her person, responds. "Oh yeah, lets throw a party while the world burns huh?"

| One of the soldiers stands, a guardsman by his set, an officer most likely. Broad shouldered and lean, clean shaven and hair close cropped. "No, we won't. I think we all know we're not leaving this one."
Telekine: "Doesn't take a genius to figure that out." | |

| officer: "And we plan to sell our lives dearly indeed. But they are astartes, and outnumber us even then. And at that, no help is coming. In emperor's name we intend to give it a solid shake, but... we've, all of us, made our peace." He's the fitting image of an officer, and the slow nods behind him give voice to the fact he's the leader among them. | |

| Tyren speaks, the rumbling vox casters lending gravitas beyond mortal speech. [I cannot fault your resolve. But life is the emperor's currency. Do not spend it willingly, and, with faith, we shall see the end of this, with life intact.] | |

In the moment of awkward silence that follows, laurence, followed by the lazarus man enters the room. | |

| Laurence just looks at her, face drained of all energy and animation, his mouth a thin line, his eyes hooded. Without a word he turns and walks down the adjacent corridor. | |
